util-macros is installed in /usr/share as it is architecture
independent.

For my part. I set:

        PKG_CONFIG_PATH=	/home/nadon/xorg/src/lib/pkgconfig:/home/nadon/xorg/src/share/pkgconfig

This path is searched before the "default search path". See man
pkg-config.

Once you have sorted it out, remove excess files copied and install
util-macros using make install.
Also check if PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR is set which changes the default search
path.
That makes several places were an older copy can hide.

This should tell you where it is, based on env vars:

        pkg-config --variable pkgdatadir xorg-macros
